Is your tween or teen asking for their own phone line? Before you add another bill to the family budget, there's a deal worth a look: Boost Mobile's Unlimited plan is $10 a month for the first six months for eligible new customers.
What's included
- Unlimited talk and text, plus high-speed data (speeds may slow after 30GB of premium data usage)
- No annual contract
- Bring your own compatible, unlocked phone, which is great if you have a hand-me-down ready for its next owner
You can explore the offer directly at Boost Mobile.
The fine print
- The $10 promotional rate is for eligible new customers who bring their own device and enroll in AutoPay.
- After six months, the plan moves to $25 a month with AutoPay, plus applicable taxes and fees.
- Additional lines may not qualify for the full six-month promotional period, so check the current terms before signing up.
Who this deal fits
- Families starting a first line for a tween or teen who needs to coordinate rides, check in after practice, or stay reachable on school trips.
- Moms with a spare phone at home. Skipping a new device purchase is where the biggest savings are.
- Budget-conscious households who want to test the waters without a big commitment.
Before you sign up: a quick mom checklist
- Check that your phone is unlocked and compatible. Use Boost's compatibility checker before you commit.
- Check coverage where your kid actually spends time: home, school, grandparents' house, the soccer field.
- Put the $25 date on your calendar. Six months from activation, the price changes, so decide then whether it's still the right fit.
- Set ground rules first. A simple family phone agreement covering bedtime charging, screen-time limits, and what to do if something online feels off goes a long way.
- Turn on parental controls. Both iPhone and Android have built-in tools for content limits and app approvals.
Other plans to compare
It's always smart to compare. Budget carriers like Mint Mobile have also offered low-priced unlimited plans, so search for Mint Mobile's current offers alongside Boost before you decide.
The bottom line
A first phone is a big milestone, and a lower-cost plan makes it easier to say yes without the sticker shock. If your family fits the new-customer, bring-your-own-phone profile, $10 a month for six months is a hard price to beat. Just keep the post-promo rate in mind.
Deals and terms can change, so confirm the details on Boost Mobile's site before enrolling.
